He always had a striking presence on the screen. I remember him well from his performance in "The Shipping News".

He didn't die.

He just woke up.

RIP Peter. An excellent actor. With Anne Francis this makes two today.

He played the corrupted Sgt. Hakeswill in the “Sharpe’s Wars” series. One hell of an actor.

Steven Spielberg once called him “The best actor in the world”.

Mister Postlelwaite has always been one of those great character actors who stayed in the background and helped good actors be better.

Loved his as Sharpe’s nemesis and as Kobayashi and as the ‘Go To Guy’, Danny in ‘Brassed Off’.

The world will be less colorful with his passing.

Jack.

He was terrific in “In The Name Of The Father”. That movie was a heck of a good movie. Corin Redgrave died last year too.

I’m still hating the guy from his role in The Town.
